Follow the instructions Corey gives you at your appointment. Keep the treated area free from unnecessary rubbing or pressure, confirm when makeup, skincare, exercise and heat fit your personal plan, and contact the clinic if something is unexpected or worsening. Seek urgent medical care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms.
Aftercare begins with a clear handover
Before you leave, you should know what to do, what you might notice, when to contact the clinic and what would need urgent medical care. Keep that advice somewhere easy to find rather than relying on memory later.
Corey remains your point of continuity at Core Aesthetics. If your experience does not match the instructions from your appointment, you are welcome to contact the clinic and ask.
Four answers to take home
What should I do?
Know how Corey wants you to treat the area and which parts of your normal routine can continue.
What might I notice?
Ask which early changes may occur and how long Corey wants you to observe them before checking in.
When should I call?
Keep the clinic contact route with your instructions so a question does not become guesswork.
What cannot wait?
Be clear about the symptoms that need prompt medical assessment rather than a routine review.
Your simple aftercare plan
Start with the instructions from your appointment. Unless Corey has told you otherwise, avoid unnecessary rubbing, pressure or irritation around the treated area and give the skin a quiet chance to settle.
Do not turn the first day into a test of the final result. Notice how you feel, keep your instructions close and use the clinic contact route if a change is different from what was discussed.
What needs a message, a review or urgent help?
The experience matches what you were told
Continue the personal plan and keep observing without repeatedly testing or pressing the area.
Something is unclear or changing
Message or call when a symptom is unexpected, worsening or simply does not match the advice you were given.
The symptom feels severe or unsafe
Do not wait for a routine reply or review when breathing, swallowing, vision or rapidly worsening symptoms are involved.
Your instructions beat an online checklist
The right advice can change with the area treated, your skin, health, medicines, appointment details and what Corey assessed that day. Use this page as orientation, then follow your own written advice.
If the sheet feels hard to interpret at home, the clinic aftercare instructions guide helps you separate what to do, expect, report and escalate.
Make the plan fit your day
Ask specifically about makeup, skincare, exercise, heat and pressure instead of trying to apply one generic rule. Clean hands and a gentle touch may be useful principles, but Corey should tell you what applies to your skin and treatment area.
Mention training, helmets, massage, facials, physical work, travel or an event before the appointment. For a deeper activity discussion, use the exercise and aftercare planning guide.
What to keep close
| Keep this | Use it for | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Your latest instructions | Care, activity and monitoring advice for this appointment. | Follow these ahead of an old handout or generic web list. |
| Clinic contact details | Questions or changes that do not match what you were told. | Contact Core Aesthetics rather than trying to diagnose the issue online. |
| Your review plan | The agreed time to discuss settling, movement, comfort and questions. | Attend as planned, but contact the clinic sooner if you are concerned. |
Contact and urgent help
Contact Core Aesthetics when symptoms are unexpected, worsening or different from what Corey described. You do not need to wait for a planned review to ask a sensible question.
Seek urgent medical care for severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, changes to vision, difficulty breathing or swallowing, signs of a serious allergic reaction, severe pain, unusual skin colour change or anything that feels immediately unsafe. Call Triple Zero (000) in a medical emergency; Healthdirect explains when to call.
What to expect at your visit
Your appointment is a private conversation with Corey about your routine, health and the care you would need afterwards.
Bring questions about work, exercise, skincare, travel or events. If an option is suitable after assessment, Corey explains the material risks, aftercare and costs before you decide; consultation can also lead to waiting or no treatment.
Leave knowing what happens next
A useful appointment gives you clear aftercare, a contact route and time to decide whether proceeding feels right.
Is this for you?
Consider booking a consultation if
- You are an adult preparing for an appointment and want useful aftercare questions
- You recently attended Core Aesthetics and want to organise the instructions you received
- You want to distinguish a routine observation from a reason to contact the clinic
- You need to plan skincare, exercise, work, travel or an event around personal advice
This may not be for you if
- You have severe, worsening or medically urgent symptoms that require immediate medical care
- You want a website to diagnose a symptom or possible complication
- You were treated elsewhere and need instructions from the responsible treating clinic
- You are looking for one universal timeline that overrides personal clinical advice
Suitability is confirmed at consultation. This list is general guidance, not a substitute for clinical assessment.
Frequently asked questions
What should I avoid after wrinkle treatment?
Follow Corey individual aftercare instructions. In general, avoid unnecessary rubbing, pressure or irritation to the treated area and follow the activity guidance given at your appointment.
Can I exercise after wrinkle treatment?
Ask Corey what applies to your treatment area and routine. Strenuous activity may need to be avoided temporarily depending on the plan and instructions given at your appointment.
Can I wear makeup after wrinkle treatment?
Corey may give specific advice based on your skin and treatment area. Use clean hands and tools, be gentle and avoid aggressive rubbing or irritating products while the skin is settling.
When should I contact the clinic?
Contact the clinic if symptoms feel outside the expected pattern, worsen unexpectedly or if you are unsure about aftercare. For severe, sudden or medically concerning symptoms, seek urgent medical care.
Is swelling or bruising always a problem?
Mild temporary changes can occur after some cosmetic treatments, but pattern, severity and timing matter. Follow your instructions and contact the clinic if symptoms are unusual, worsening or concerning.
Do I need a review appointment?
Review timing depends on the treatment area, your concern and Corey instructions. Review can check settling, movement and questions, but it does not automatically mean further treatment will occur.
Can aftercare advice change between appointments?
Yes. Advice can change depending on the treatment area, skin condition, medicines, medical history, symptoms, timing and what Corey assessed at that appointment. Follow the most recent individual instructions rather than relying on older advice or a generic online checklist.
How do I verify Core Aesthetics before booking?
Corey Anderson is a registered nurse with Ahpra registration NMW0001047575. Patients can check the Verify page and Ahpra public register before booking, then use consultation to discuss suitability.
